Zusammenfassung:Following on from Making Sense of Motherhood (2005) and Making Sense of Fatherhood (2010), Tina Miller's book focuses on transitions to first-time parenthood and the unfolding experiences of managing caring and paid work in modern family lives.

The findings presented will inform both scholarly work and policy on family lives, gender equality and work
